Wow! An American....


A 1st.
Did not realize that. I wonder why American Catholics haven't rebelled over the years since their Cardinals weren't considered good enough to be a Pope.

Not thrilled but I guess we’ll see. At least:
A) Selected Leo as the name
B) Studied at a St. Thomas Aquinus seminary
C) Wore the correct vestments
D) Is NOT a Jesuit

Not much to hang your hat on but at least a start

I’m Absolutely shocked they picked an American right now.


Wiki says he holds Peruvian citizenship also. What do you think he only spoke Italian and Spanish? He may never speak English.

He went to Villanova in the 70’s. My guess is he’s conservative. The school was pretty based back then.


Political climates at universities back in the 70s were massively different compared to today, even at the big secular schools.

The previous Leo was pro workers' rights, 'fair' wages, etc. He was known as the 'workers Pope.'

Tells us quite a bit about this new one.

Saying he is far left is crazy

I didn't say he was far left. You don't have to be a far left loon to be infected with TDS.

The faculty and student body were conservative, so he would have been taught under that environment as an undergrad. Was definitely not an Ivy League environment, which was still quite liberal back then.

The OT is saying his people were creole blacks from the 7th ward in NOLA. “Pree-vo”

someone just ask him if he puts tomatoes in gumbo and we can put his ancestry to rest.

his mother’s family - not his father

His father’s surname is Prevost

Why are people so dumb
